Celestial images: Arjuna between Krishna and Satyaki — "budhaśukrābhyāṃ… śaśī", like the moon between Budha and Shukra (Mercury and Venus), "tamaḥ nighnan", dispelling darkness. It is telling that setting out for battle is likened to the rising of a light that drives away the gloom: his task is not slaughter but the banishing of the darkness of lawlessness. The comparison with Indra in the war of Taraka once more places the battle among the victories of light over darkness. The verse teaches that righteous warfare is in essence the dispersal of gloom: the warrior of righteousness goes forth like a luminary chasing away the night, and his victory is the triumph of light over untruth.
